Are you sure it is starting TV2? If there are buttons for streams it is actually running TV3.

If you are running in single seat configuration with the TV3 engine and the client on the same machine there is no need to add the tvserver name or ip address. MP finds the TV server on the current machine and automatically configures this part on the setup.

surfermc thx for answering.

yeah, its starts now. and it seems to use tv engine. the problem is now, that i have no channels to choose, even if i end mp and start it again. there are no channels at all. i have made a full scan and many channels in the tv engine. but if i start media portal, there is no channel to choose...

so, something is wrong. hope you can help me...

greetings

    you MUST install the client plugin into the MediaPortal Folder.

    so you then have 2 foders
    1. mediaPortal TVServer
    2. MediaPortal (which contains MediaPortal 0.2.3.0 and the TV-Server Client plugin)

    at first you need to start the TV-Server by clicking at the shrortcut it created in your start -> menu -> applications
    after you finished configuration, you start MediaPortal.
    give MP some time on the first start.


    IT WILL NOT ASK YOU FOR THE IP ADRESS OF THE TVSERVER!


    because it detects the tvservice which is running on your PC. ;)

    if i do so and install the client in the same dir mp and tvserver is installed, mp is hanging at the loading plugin screen and will not start up...
    it only start, if i install the client in a othere place...

    so whats to do?

    greetings

    chris, correction

    after about 10 minutes hanging on plugin loading screen, its starts
    if i go on my tv, there is no channel group to choose.
    it just playing pro7 and if i go on channel to choose an other channel, i get an empty list, with no channels to choose...

    i think, i am very close to get it working, but not close enough.=)

    hope, you can help me.

    greetings

    no step in teh wiki says "install both" ;)

    based on the log you have added your tv-cards in "MediaPortal Configuration" AND in TV-Server.
    this is not correct and causes your issues! :)

    i strongly suggest that you uninstall "everything" and then watch and follow -> https://www.team-mediaportal.com/tv-server_tutorial.html
